NEVER APPROVED BY MIR. LINCOLN.

THE Ex-sECRETARY OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT RE-
PUDIATEs NEWSPAPER STORY.
CHICAGO, June II tSpeciap.-The attention OF ex-
Secretary Lincoln was this morning called to state
ment in OF the morning newspapers 10 the euece
that he had ward the close OF hs administration VI
the affairs of the War Department, approved pre-
cisely sinae suggestion from Gneral Dram In regard
to these fags. He said
al do not remember any action OF mine respecting
the rebet flags the War Department. certainly
never seriously considered nor had in my mind any
idea OF approving any sctiou Inspecting these hags
which would give any the right to suppose that
/ thought the lapse OF time had made the Rebellion
less to be reprobated than It was when the war
was going on. The captured rebel flags found their
natural resting place at the close of the war, and
having become rotten and ruined In the succeeding
years should, in my view be permitted to disappear
In dust where tbey ere. Certainly. as thiuk, the
Government should not take suoh action concerning
them az would seem to approve and stimulate
sentiment of veneration toward these captured reoei
flags "a relies Of defeated patriotic cause. his
would be one result of returning them 70 the Gov
ernors OF the Southern states. -
"Agsfn, II Was the patriotic theory IN tine wal thae
the Southern States not IN rebellion but tont
they only Of their practical relations 70 tne
Union through the turbulence OF q majority OF their
slave holding citizens. Returning these hags 10 tne
Governors OF those States Is Governmental rePuda-
ton of that theory. Such action would also have
tendency to teach children In the North that the
principles for which their fathers fought are nos SO
much more deserving of respect and vcnerafon tnah
those involved In the rebellion as we have wsheo 70
teach them. There Is need OF fighting the WAT OF

Tories Trying 90 Allay the Fears Of .

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING srAn.
LONDON, Dec. 19-I hear that Lord Salisbury in
speech to be delivered tonight at Derby, will
endeavOr TO allay the fears OF a return 10 protec-
tion. He will hardly go so far as TO declare In
favor OF free trade principle having never been
convinced by the arguments OF the free traders
but he Will probably argue the matter on the
grounds OF expediency, and urge that the free
trade policy has resulted In the growth OF large
town populations who must have cheap food
Salisbury is well aware the great difficulty In the
way OF protection is that nearly all English imports
are raw material with very little manufactures
and the country Is not large enough, especially
with the present system OF large estates and num-
bers or deer forests TO produce cheap food for the
people. Many articles sold as American novelties
etc, are made In BrInlngham; hence the preva-
lent Impression that foreign manufactures are
largely Imported here does not stand the test OF
examination or statistics Salisbury's speech Will
be the last important utterance for the tory side
before the New Year
A number or public men are going abroad for
che Christmas holidays. learn that Churchill
starts to-day for st. Petersburg, not Seville, as
